| Thanksgiving Day |
| Thanksgiving-day, I fear, If one the solemn truth must touch, Is celebrated, not so much To thank the Lord for blessings o’er, As for the sake of getting more! Will Carleton—Captain Young’s Thanksgiving. | 1 |
| And taught by thee the Church prolongs Her hymns of high thanksgiving still. Keble—The Christian Year. St. Luke the Evangelist. St. 18. | 2 |
| Great as the preparations were for the dinner, everything was so contrived that not a soul in the house should be kept from the morning service of Thanksgiving in the church. H. B. Stowe—Oldtown Folks. P. 345. | 3 |
| Ah! on Thanksgiving day, when from East and from West, From North and South, come the pilgrim and guest, When the gray-haired New Englander sees round his board The old broken links of affection restored, When the care-wearied man seeks his mother once more, And the worn matron smiles where the girl smiled before. What moistens the lips and what brightens the eye? What calls back the past, like the rich pumpkin pie? Whittier—The Pumpkin. | 4 |
| And let these altars, wreathed with flowers And piled with fruits, awake again Thanksgivings for the golden hours, The early and the latter rain! Whittier—For an Autumn Festival. | 5 |
